So, it seems that we downloaded a more recent version. If you read https://docs.cs50.net/games/2020/x/assignments/0/assignment0.html it will say that the correct version to use of LOVE is 0.10.2

[H4CKL0RD]

i think we might have wrote the line incorrect it should be setMode

[H4CKL0RD]

yep it works

[H4CKL0RD]

[H4CKL0RD]

it works fine or you are using the wrong text editor

[H4CKL0RD]

i would recommend using Atom.io

[H4CKL0RD]

and i am using the most recent version

@H4CKLORD how did u solve that problem can u explain properly it would be helpful

[Kafeedos]

though i am facing this issue

Error: main.lua:5: attempt to call field 'setmode' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main.lua:5: in function 'load'

Notice the spelling of the "setMode", the only uppercase should be "M"

[Abhiab3012]

@Kafeedos thankyou for your help

[gopalpendalwar]

I had this same problem. It seems like the proper way to run love is just to call "love .", but this might not work with versions >10.2 so a work around is renaming the folder with the main.lua file inside to "foo.love", and then you can run "love foo.love" in the command line. Works for latest version of love2d (11.3), and also for the previous version (10.2).

To be specific: in your cloned repo, rename the "pong-0" folder to "pong-0.love", and run "love pong-0.love". Should solve it. Later iterations of pong (1,2,etc) will give you an error but those are version related (love != 10.2). But again, the proper calling is "love ." within a folder

WINDOW_WIDTH = 1280
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 720

--[[
Runs when the game first starts up, only once; used to initialize the game.
]]
function love.load()
love.window.setMode(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, {
fullscreen = false,
resizable = false,
vsync = true
})
end

--[[
Called after update by LÖVE2D, used to draw anything to the screen, updated or otherwise.
]]
function love.draw()
love.graphics.printf(
'Hello Pong!', -- text to render
0, -- starting X (0 since we're going to center it based on width)
WINDOW_HEIGHT / 2 - 6, -- starting Y (halfway down the screen)
WINDOW_WIDTH, -- number of pixels to center within (the entire screen here)
'center') -- alignment mode, can be 'center', 'left', or 'right'
end

[kenaztynes]

What's the next step ?
